Real Madrid legendary defender Dani Carvajal officially moves to local rivals Getafe..

Getafe announced on their official website on Tuesday that local rivals Real Madrid's former captain, legendary Spain international right-back Dani Carvajal has joined the club on a free transfer.

According to Getafe's official statement, Carvajal has signed on a short-term eight-month deal with the club which will only run until the summer of 2027.

Additionally, reports from Relevo's resident renowned Italian transfer journalist Matteo Moretto indicate that after leaving Real Madrid, Carvajal’s primary preference was to remain in Europe, specifically playing for clubs competing in European competitions this season.
